Autoworker Whom Trump Cussed Out Gets Defense After Being Suspended

The United Auto Workers union said it plans to defend a Ford factory worker who was suspended after if it isn’t resolved.

UAW President Shawn Fain was among the most outspoken labor leaders opposing Trump during the presidential campaign last year. He frequently called Trump a “scab” and a “con man” who doesn’t care at all about regular people, arguing that a second Trump presidency would be disastrous for the working class.

He also blasted Trump for hosting a campaign event where several people wearing “Auto Workers for Trump” were not actually autoworkers.

“It’s pathetic. Everything he does is a con,” Fain said at the time. “Donald Trump serves himself. He’s always served himself.”

Trump was in Detroit to tour the Ford factory with CEO Jim Farley and board chairman Bill Ford. The president also delivered a speech at the Detroit Economic Club that was full of his typical lies about the economy and other matters, like election fraud.

The White House has defended Trump hurling an expletive and giving the middle finger to a worker during the tour.

“A lunatic was wildly screaming expletives in a complete fit of rage, and the President gave an appropriate and unambiguous response,” Trump spokesperson Steven Cheung claimed.
